In trading on Friday, shares of Crosstex Energy LP (NASDAQ:XTEX) entered into overbought territory, changing hands as high as $17.46 per share. We define overbought territory using the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which is a technical analysis indicator used to measure momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be overbought if the RSI reading rises above 70.

In the case of Crosstex Energy LP, the RSI reading has hit 71.0 — by comparison, the universe of energy stocks covered by Energy Stock Channel currently has an average RSI of 55.7, the RSI of WTI Crude Oil is at -1.0, and the RSI of Henry Hub Natural Gas is presently 42.8.

Investors could look at XTEX's 71.0 reading as a sign that the recent heavy buying is peaking which could mean shares are due for a pullback.

Looking at a chart of one year performance (below), XTEX's low point in its 52 week range is $13.23 per share, with $19.97 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $17.29. Crosstex Energy LP shares are currently trading up about 0.9% on the day.
